How to make a cat shelter for winter ?

We have beautiful sunny days, but for approximately two weeks, it’s clearly cooler in the morning : between 3 and 6℃ at 7 am (37-42℉). The heating is not on all the time, because it’s still 18 to 20℃ (64-68℉) out during the day. We have no fireplace, then sometimes it’s a little cold and damp in the house.

Our humans took out jackets and socks, and blankets did their appearance on the sofa again for watching TV in the evening. Zorro sleeps outside during the day, and this coolness doesn’t disturb him, but I decided to sleep under the spread to have a cosy and comfy spot !

Autumn has just begun, but these lower temperatures reminds us our friends who will soon have to spend the winter outside. The video of Cole et Marmalade shows you here how to make easily a cat shelter :

And you, how do you do to settle down softly in mid-season ?

Book review : Au pays des Marrakech’Chats by Fabienne Gajda

PIXIE : Zorro, do you like my belly dancing ?
ZORRO : Of course, and you have an adorable little belly … But why this exotic touch ?
PIXIE : It’s to put our readers in the mood of the book that we’re going to present them.

We have the pleasure to introduce you to the work « Au Pays des Marrakech’Chats » : it’s about a book of photos with little text. All the cats were photographed in Marrakesh by Fabienne Gajda-Baril.

Wife, mom, active woman, art lover, reader, nature enthusiast, Fabienne travels a lot, especially in Africa. A few years ago, she takes photos of cats with her small camera during a stay in Marrakesh. Her husband, professional photographer, likes the atmosphere of these photos, and encourages Fabienne in this way. The idea of a book makes its path, and Fabienne returns several times to Marrakesh with professional photographic equipment to concretize her project.

The book « Au Pays des Marrakech’Chats » takes you in streets and alleys of Marrakesh, in Morocco, on the meeting of his four paws inhabitants, into a poetic Mediterranean atmosphere. We liked a lot travelling in the set of the everyday life of Marrakesh thanks to these magnificent cats portraits.
